Emily Blunt Gives Update On Edge Of Tomorrow Sequel

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 03:10

It's been 10 years since Edge of Tomorrow--also known as Live. Die. Repeat.--hit theaters and despite the so-so box office return, fans have been curious about a sequel to the sci-fi action movie for a while now. The Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt film has become a cult classic and Blunt recently gave an update on a potential sequel.

Blunt received her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and got the news in an interesting way. Talking to Josh Horowitz for a conversation at 92NY, the actress broke down some iconic roles in films like The Devil Wears Prada and Edge of Tomorrow. When asked if there's any update for a sequel to the latter, Blunt said it's still a possibility.

"I think when we were first talking about the sequel, it was right before I was about to do Mary Poppins, so it was quite a while," Blunt said (via THR). "And then I think if we're going to do one, we would have to reimagine what the sequel will look like."

Palworld Update Fixes Save Game Issues And Comatose Pals

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 02:50

A new update has arrived for Palworld, adding several tweaks to the Pokemon-inspired survival-crafting game on both PC and Xbox Series X|S. One of the major fixes is focused on save data, as the previous update introduced an issue where saves remained in a broken state and were impossible to load.

This should now be rectified once Palworld has been updated, and if you happen to have over 7,000 Pals in your collection, another issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted has also been fixed.

The other thing worth mentioning in this patch is developer Pocketpair's focus on cheats and exploits. The studio has regularly tackled cheats in the game since it launched in early access, and a few more countermeasures have been introduced. Finally, any Pals who have been sleeping for roughly forever should be getting a wake-up call in this update.

Bandai Spirits Tekken 8 Collectible Figures Are Up For Preorder

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 02:14

Tekken 8 is a fantastic fighting game, and if you've been wanting to host your own King of the Iron Fist tournament at home, you can do just that without having to spend millions of dollars on travel and accommodation expenses for the world's best fighters. Preorders are now live for the Bandai Spirits SH Figuarts Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima figures, and each one is priced at $80 ahead of their November 30 release.

Each character is based on their standard appearance in Tekken 8, as Jin is sporting his default fighting outfit while Kazuya is dressed to kill with his business attire. These figures typically hit the sweet spot for affordability and detail, but the big draw of SH Figuarts figures is the articulation. You can strike some wild poses with one of these figures, allowing you to perfectly recreate iconic moments from their respective media franchises.

The Kazuya figure, for example, can easily be posed in a fighting stance or in a more action-packed attack mode, and because everything is made from durable plastic, you won't have to worry about the detailed clothing getting damaged when you play around with them. You also get a few extra parts with these figures, as they come with optional heads, extra hands, and a printed backdrop. A figure stand isn't included, but you can usually pick a third-party one up for cheap in case you have a dynamic Tekken 8 diorama in mind.

PlayStation Portal Restocked At Amazon, But You Should Hurry

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:56

The PlayStation Portal is in stock at Amazon. The Remote Play device has been mostly out of stock at major retailers since its November launch. Predictably, scalpers have inflated the price on reseller marketplaces. In a sign of good news, Amazon's latest restock hasn't sold out immediately. That said, it will probably sell out soon--so snag a PlayStation Portal while you can.

See at Amazon

There is a downside to Amazon's latest restock; the estimated delivery date keeps getting pushed back. When we started writing this article, the delivery estimate was listed as late-February. Within 15 minutes, the estimate shifted to mid-April. However, Amazon's delivery estimates are, after all, just estimates, and it's not uncommon for Amazon to ship orders earlier than the original estimate.

PlayStation Portal $200

The PlayStation Portal is essentially a DualSense controller with an 8-inch LCD screen between the joysticks. It offers adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and supports a resolution of 1080p at 60fps. You’ll also benefit from a 3.5mm jack, allowing you to connect a headset for multiplayer games.

See at Amazon See at Walmart (Sold out) See at Best Buy (Sold out)

Keep in mind that this is a streaming device, meaning you’ll need a fast (and reliable) internet connection to get the most use out of the handheld. The Portal only works when synced to a PlayStation 5 console, so if you don't already own a PS5, you'll need to get one if you're interested in the handheld device. The PS5 Slim holiday bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is still available at Amazon for $500.

Paul Bettany Reveals Surprising Detail About Avengers: Infinity War

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:53

Paul Bettany, who plays Vision in the Marvel universe, has revealed that Vision's death scene in Avengers: Infinity War was improvised. Speaking to Collider, Bettany said the sequence where Vision dies next to Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch was not working as scripted, so directors Joe and Anthony Russo had him and Olsen improvise.

"The Russo Brothers came up to us [Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen] and said, 'Hey, listen, can you just improvise this scene?' And I go, 'What? Improvise being a robot getting killed?' I've got no frame of reference! And Lizzie was just laughing at it, and we're so relaxed with each other that… I don't know how it would've worked other than that, because we both really trust each other and, somehow, we got to something that worked."

Scarlet Witch kills Vision at the end of Infinity War to destroy the Mind Stone in his head before Thanos can get his hands on it. In a tragic twist, Thanos uses the Time Stone to undo this, bringing Vision back to life before Thanos himself removes the stone and kills Vision again.

A Quiet Place: Day One Trailer Reveals The Day The Aliens Came To Earth

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:37

The first trailer for A Quiet Place: Day One has arrived, and it shows the exact moment the aliens came to Earth and made people stop talking to stay alive.

A Quiet Place: Part II began with an unsettling flashback of the day the aliens came to Earth, but Day One is entirely about the arrival of the evil creatures and the fallout that ensued. For anyone just catching up, the aliens in the A Quiet Place series are blind but have extremely good hearing, prompting people to do whatever they can to stay quiet.

In the trailer we see Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o strolling peacefully through a busy city street with her cat in her arms as she looks to the sky and sees the aliens crash into Earth. It gets pretty intense from there.

Carl Weathers Super Bowl Commercial Will Still Air, Family Consulted On Edits

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:30

Carl Weathers isn't done acting just yet. The popular Mandalorian and Rocky star passed away last week, leaving behind memorable characters and an iconic resume. Weathers recently appeared in teasers for FanDuel's Super Bowl commercial focused on the outcome of a live field goal attempt by former NFL star Rob Gronkowski. Despite his death, Weathers will still appear in the final commercial, albeit not as originally envisioned.

Variety reports though that FanDuel intends to make some unspecified changes to its commercial after consulting with Weathers' family. "The family has been very supportive that they would still like to see Carl in the work," FanDuel's Andrew Sneyd said.

"We need to change what we are doing in the Bowl. The live event itself carries forward and as is. Rob will kick the field goal and he will be even more inspired to make it. He really enjoyed meeting Carl and found him to be such an optimistic and energetic person," added Sneyd. Gronkowski's kick will take place just before gameplay starts, with a follow-up commercial to appear during the Super Bowl. The changes are focused on how Weathers is portrayed in the commercial.

Stephen A. Smith Knows Exactly Who Would Win In A Stuart Little Vs. Ratatouille Fight

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:20

Since the dawn of time, humanity has long debated just who would come out on top in a clash of the rodent titans. Could Stuart Little and his skateboarding skills topple Remy in a fight when he's not piloting a rookie chef Jaeger? This is a battle for the ages and one that ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith has weighed in on, as the sports commentator and Pokemon starter expert reckons that Stuart Little's days would be numbered if he took on Remy outside of a kitchen.

Stephen A Smith answers who wins in a street fight between Ratatouille and Stuart Little.
“Stuart Little lived in the confines of a nice habit, posh, affluent lifestyle, he ain’t ever had to worry about some cheese. Ratatouille? He had it rough!” pic.twitter.com/epr3y0Yg4w

"He's Stuart Little. He lived in the confines of a nice habit. Posh, affluent lifestyle. Comfort, meals, he's never had to worry about some cheese, he's fine," Smith said. "Ratatouille? He had it rough! He's a rough rider! Scratch and claw! He's like one of those rats in the New York subways!

As Smith reasoned, Remy would have a size and ferocity advantage on Stuart Little, as well as experience from a hard life on the streets. The math checks out, and if Disney could collaborate with Sony to create a crossover film, the end result could be a cinematic tussle for the ages. While you probably won't be seeing these two furry icons duke it out on the big screen in the future--or, ever--the next best thing is headed to theaters soon.

Enshrouded Is Like Multiplayer Skyrim--And Makes My Group Feel Like The Fellowship Of The Ring

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:18

One of the first things Enshrouded instructed me and my friends to do was delve into the evil blue fog that infests its lowland areas, seek out a huge, fungus-covered, axe-wielding boss, and murder him.

After that, we built grapple hooks to swing over a destroyed bridge, and within the next hour, we crafted wingsuits from goat skins. We trekked back out into the world, discovered a huge, ancient tower, and scaled it. From its height, we spotted a destroyed monastery in the distance, so we leaped off and flew down, forming a fleet of medieval peasant base-jumpers, to see what was there. A chapel stood at one end, its roof crumbling to allow sunlight to pass through. We found someone kneeling at the altar--a glowing green skeleton knight, praying for who knows what--and we immediately wrecked his shit.

My experience with Enshrouded, since it launched in early access, has been full of moments like this, where my group and I set out into the unknown and discover an underground cave hiding strange ruins or a tower that requires figuring out environmental puzzles to scale it. We've slipped into that evil fog, the Shroud, to fight through strange, gross creatures and destroy tentacle-covered fungal growths to clear the foul miasma. We've discovered hammers that glow with intrinsic flame and scrolls that summon magic meteors to rain down on our enemies.

Halo Season 2 Is Shifting Tone, But What Does That Mean?

Game News - Thu, 02/08/2024 - 01:00

The first season of Halo was interesting, if only because it existed. After being in the works for years and initially produced as a Showtime series, the live-action adaptation of Halo moved to Paramount+, instantly becoming one of the most recognizable titles on the streaming service. In the end, though, the show might not have told the story it wanted to originally.

The first season of Halo wound up with a decent score of 61 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic, with a much decidedly reaction score from audiences who ultimately didn't love the story presented. With that said, the team behind Halo has seemingly made a concerted effort to right the ship, shifting the series' tone to hopefully make more sense with the material they're adapting.

For Pablo Schreiber, who plays main character Master Chief in the series, the shift is one he thinks longtime fans of Halo will appreciate.
